Edward VII (Edward Augustus; 1824-1878), was the King of the [[United Kingdom]] from 1873 until his assassination in 1874. The King was most notable for his artistic and literary prowess, with him publishing several novels under the pseudonym “Leonard E.A. Stewart”. He would be the first British or English monarch to be murdered since Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field when he was assassinated by Communard sympathizers. He was succeeded by his younger brother, [[Alexander I & IV]].
